Playoff results will be posted on the LSSE playoff schedule page.


Playoff organization:
For 2008, with 11 teams in the league, the lowest ranked 6 teams will all
play in the first round, with the top five having a bye. This will result
in 8 teams going into the 2nd round, 4 into the third round, two into the
final game. So players should plan on being available for up to three games 
after the first playoff round.  

If you need directions to any of the fields at any point in the season, check
out the map on the Dragons website.  

The complete and official schedule for all teams in our division has been posted
on the  LSSE webpage.

The usual game time is 6:15 p.m. We will try to have equipment on hand for warmup and practice at 5:45. We will start making up the lineup at 6:00. Be early to be ready and to claim a place in the starting lineup.
